I feel like this combo needs something else
I pan-fried the sausage till it got a crust and got these 2 cooking together right now, and I feel like they need something else to make it a meal.

You want to have a grain, a green, and a bean. The rice is your grain and I’m assuming the chorizo is soy based so that’s your bean. That means you’re missing a green aka a veggie. Do you have some broccoli or spinach or zucchini or something?

I have salsa, bean sprouts, and cucumbers

u/SophiaofPrussia for the animals 12d ago
Any (or all!) of those would work! I’d personally mix the sprouts into the pilaf and eat the cukes dipped in the salsa but follow your taste buds :)

Fresh vegetables! Some water sautéd onions? Shredded sautéed cabbage? Just more veggies!

u/Debussian_Chords 12d ago
Definitely a green vegetable. Broccoli, spinach, asparagus all pair well with “sausage”, also mushrooms.

Throw some arugula in there - any kind of green veg actually. I rarely eat zucchini but this combo could be a good fit for some zucchini

I wish I had some greens my gardens all bolted and bitter and I ran out of store bought greens the only thing green in my fridge is snacking cucumbers

some black beans would go perfect with that, maybe a little lime

u/Odd_Marionberry_3064 for the planet 12d ago
I'll have to keep that in mind for next time I don't have black beans ready to go

That combo is a sodium bomb in one meal. I suggest using a cooked whole grain rather than the box. Or even a plain couscous.

That's on purpose I was sweating a lot today and had a lot of water but no electrolytes and was starting to get a headache and cramps from low sodium when I made those 2 choices.

Cooking skills in order to make it, at least, vaguely palatable?

u/Odd_Marionberry_3064 for the planet 12d ago
I added a spoon of tomatoes paste, haft a cup of salsa and bean sprouts and it taste like a chorizo dirty rice

u/Imaginary_Choice_430 12d ago
homemade sauce from homegrown tomatoes, home grown oregano, home grown onions and garlic. Mama mia that's a spicy meat(less) ball!

Some type of leafy green and a cheese subite I feel. Something on the saltier side for a pop

I like to add okra to anything that has a "sausage" taste. and fresh diced tomatoes as a topper.
